Geohazard, Fluvial Hazard and Floodplain Hazard Land Use Code and Mapping Services

The Pitkin County government authority in Aspen, Colorado is seeking a contractor to provide geohazard, fluvial hazard, and floodplain hazard land use code and mapping services. The agency needs to address gaps in its current regulatory framework by establishing a clear relationship between hazard mapping, site-specific investigations, mitigation measures, and regulatory decision-making. This project aims to foster a better understanding of how these hazard elements function within the county's review process. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide an inventory and gap analysis of the existing land use code, application and permit requirements, standards, and mapping. The selected partner must develop options for a regulatory framework and review process, including clear language describing the intent of the code. Additionally, the contractor must support county staff through the two-step adoption process for the land use code, application manual, and mapping, which includes at least one planning and zoning commission meeting and two readings with the board of county commissioners. Eligible bidders must be located onshore within the United States. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted onsite in Aspen, Colorado. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 09, 2026. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project. The contract period for the completed agreement will be for one year. Bidders may submit their final responses digitally via email or through the designated online portal.
